He spared a few seconds to smile at her giving her a nod that said he appreciated the company.
The water was cold but Su Yan loved the soothing feeling it instantly brought him. Taking up another job while having a project yet unfinished wasn't what he had envisioned for himself but it wasn't a strange thing to do. They took on many jobs back at home all at once. But this was different, he only needed to be concerned about half of the paper work while his father handled the rest.
This took more from him but he remembered he had signed up for it. All of it. His father was proud that he had gotten another contract and didn't care much about the details except the fees which was handled by the family's accountant.
He lathered you soap on his hair and scrubbed it. He took his attention from all of it back to the now.
His family would never be in support of the way Tale lived. If his sister had seen Tale on the floor with Precious having a time of their life, she would have had a serious problem with it and wouldn't let him live it down.
When he got out of the bathroom to see Woo Jin looking confused, he had to ask. Woo Jin had just gotten off the phone with someone.
Speaking Mandarin Su Yan asked what it was all about.
After a few moments Woo Jin said nothing.
"What?" Su Yan asked
"I've been asked to come work on the security system at the government house," he sounded lost.
"And?" Su Yan couldn't see the problem.
"I work for only you."
Su yan shook his head and headed to his closet to change out of his towel.
"Call back and accept the job now," he ordered when he got back out.
"No." Woo Jin answered
"I'm your boss and it's an order,"
"It doesn't work like that," Woo Jin went ahead to strip out of his clothes. His things were everywhere at this point with the girls living with them. He didn't mind it.
"Do explain."
"I can't, but it's not like building roads where two projects can be worked on at the same time. If something were to happen to you it will be because I wasn't where I was meant to be. Our parents wouldn't understand that I had to take a side job while on the job,"
"Let it be our secret then, you have done a lot for me. Do this one for you, off the records, money in your pocket, all yours," Su Yan added.
"What about you?"
"I am not helpless you know, besides I'm not a target here at all."
Woo Jin looked like his mind was made up, so he said nothing.
"I'm going down, think about it if you can or want to," Su Yan said at last before heading out.
The house was quiet, when Su Yan got down the stairs but the smell of Chicken filled the air letting him know dinner had been brought home from Orange.
He walked to the kitchen and found no one there, he walked to his office and found it empty as well. He badged into Woo Jin's room and found it empty as well but the sound of the shower running eased his mind a little. He was only glad he hadn't embarrassed himself by walking into an awkward situation.
The light coming from the backyard drew his attention and he walked that way.
There was a tent sitting right in his back yard and a little distant from it was Tale, on her knees, seriously setting a fire that she had most likely started herself. She was focused on what she was doing, pouring more charcoal into the fire before setting a kettle on it. She was oblivious of his presence.
"Tale?" He finally called her attention after deciding there wasn't enough time to admire how beautiful she was.
She only smiled in return and got up on her feet.
"What is this?" He asked easily pointing to the tent while walking towards her.
"It's a tent obviously, I love your bed but I wanted something different tonight, for all four of us."
His eye widened asking for an explanation.
"It's a big tent. I just wanted a little something different for all us that will be both annoying and fun, it will be my first time though," she looked towards it one more time as if she wasn't sure of what she said. When she looked back at him his eyes was fixed on her face.
"What's wrong?" She asked almost shyly.
"Will you ever stop being like that with me?" She didn't object when his hands moved to her waist drawing her body close to his.
"What exactly do you mean sir?" She asked.
"Shy."
"I'm not shy."
"I've only seen fifty different sides to you so what do I know," Su Yan laughed.
"There's more to come if you stick around," she rounded his shoulders. "I've never slept in a tent before," she kept her voice low. "Just wanted the experience to be with you guys,"
"Same here, and I do not mind. If we can't cope we can always climb back into bed." His face was only few inches away from hers now.
"Okay Tarzan and Jane, quit it!" Precious interrupted.
"Always with the perfect timing," she whispered so only Su Yan could hear her.
He wasn't letting it go as he poured the cheer joy of just being here with her into a kiss.
"I am too young to see this," Precious exclaimed.
"Young to see what?" Woo Jin asked from behind her.
The surprise never ceases around here does it. He wondered as he looked from the tent to his friend who now apparently had no care in the world.
"Save some for the wedding night dude," Woo Jin mocked.
Tale was the one to break the kiss, laughing as she held on to Su Yan still. "What would we do without them?"
